Aberdeen 2008

[lil-lauren]

don't worry! the old one will still be there, and its like 2 secs away from marischal college! yeah, i get my bus home from there sometimes, its a bit sparse.... and i seem to be a magnet for all the drunk folk that hang around there. I don't really see the point in making such a massive building with like 1 bench, a stand with some flyers on it and a tiny whsmith!

[ruridh17]

Is it really only 2months, 2weeks and 2 days till we start.

that is damn scary.

also mr tickles, where in the name of all that is good and mighty have you been of late??

playing with that cardboard box of yours??

haha

[Tess_Tickles]

I was about to ask you the same question...but there would be no point because i havent been on here so i havent seen if you've been here or not but what i DO know is that i haven't seen you on msn therefore we cannot express views on Radiohead..i can guess what they will be, but still....(it was amazing).

Me and aileen thought we saw you, we were looking about going 'i wonder if ruridh17 is him'...pretty sad, but we will discuss.

And yes, I was given a Walkers box to play with of late.

[ruridh17]

Well yes they were frankly amazing, and thom yorke is so small. It made me smile.

Haha, where did you see me. and what was i wearing?? I was on the lookout for you aswell, but i dont think i glimpsed you at all through the huge crowd.

I was wondering. Those boxes are pretty sturdy, takes a while to break them down. You ought to try TV boxes, not only are they big, but they are as sturdy as a house. haha

[Tess_Tickles]

Haha yes! If you collect enough you can cut some sides away and stick them end on end, thus making a small tunnel/fortress. If you import some cushions, a radio, ipod etc in it would be a haven. An absolute haven.

I think the person was wearing a stripy top (red and gray horizontal stripes) with a kinda jacket ontop (light coloured). I kept saying 'he's really tall so we should be able to see tall people'...unwittingly we realised glasgow green is on a slope therefore the small 4" 7' people behind us looked massively tall.

He was small...his dancing was hilarious and as for his trousers...hmm...we will settle for VIVID.

I was wearing a yellow poncho, and a grey t-shirt underneath, we were fools for thinking it would brighten up. Damn.

[ruridh17]

Been there, done that, wore the teeshirt. Was the best week of my entire life, and im not even joking there.

nah wasnt me. I was wearing a black hoodie with normal coloured jeans. Fairly average guy to be honest. haha.

Ah i think i saw him too.

Also, what the hell was with people putting up umbrealls. How god damn inconsiderate. It was an outdoor gig... radiohead nontheless, it is going to be depressing and raining. at least bring a jacket with a hood. haha

[Tess_Tickles]

God yes how annoying, when they weren't 'ploomed' (technical term for open umbrella) i think that was people trying to find other people. When they were ploomed, it was just bloody stupid.

One guy did that during a short Thom Yorke break and he started getting sh*t thrown at him...bottles, ponchos and an orange i think. He put it down quickly. We cheered. It had the area equivalent to the area of china that umbrella.

Doesnt seem long until we start!

[ruridh17]

Yeah thats right. I saw the umbrella getting mutilated by the thousand or so fans within close proximity. There was a guy standing near me who had an umbrella the size of continental russia, it really wasnt funny.

What made it worse was that he was weearing a tweed coat, like the ones you get with the leather elbow patches. Sufficed to say he got shunted to the back of the crowd.

As a side note, 2 things have struck me. 1) It has been nearly a month since radiohead, doesnt time fly and 2) we seem to have taken complete control of this thread, i think we did this before.

[Tess_Tickles]

1) Holy crap. 2) All it means is we're just legends.

Did you try the burgers at Radiohead? Holy sweet mother of christ, THEEEE best burgers iv ever tasted. If i bought a ticket for the show, went in, had a burger there and walked home without seeing them, I think i might have gone home happy. They were great.

[ruridh17]

Yes i did, and i agree teh burgers were pretty awesome.

Also, seen as we never seem to cross paths on the old msn.

What attractions did tyou go and see in the 'gow?? Anything interesting??
